Art Heroes Radio features conversations every Thursday evening with established and upcoming artists, creative professionals and experts in related fields. The focus of the show is advice for artists and creative entrepreneurs presented in a conversational format. Learn what works (and what doesn't) from artists and creatives who have pioneered new ways to build an arts career. The stories and ideas presented add up to an ongoing guide put together by and for people living and working in the arts. From business and marketing ideas, to discussions on how to cope with fame, fans or family, the show will cover all aspects of the artists' life. Learn how to grow, manage and maintain your arts career from those who've done it the hard way.

I do my best to be available and accessible most of the day, but some ways of contacting me are better than others. To make sure you get the attention you deserve please choose the method below that most closely fits both our needs:

Twitter is the fastest, friendliest way to reach me

Need to ask a quick question? Send me an @reply on Twitter. You'll often have an answer within minutes. Twitter is where I am most active online these days.

If you have a question for a guest on the show, ask me on twitter during the live broadcast. I'll work it in if I can.

Is your question complicated? Call me!

If I'm working in the studio, I probably won't hear the phone. Please do leave voicemail and I'll get back to you shortly. I have bad hearing, so it's helpful if you can repeat both your name and phone number at the end when leaving a message.

Email has been disabled for Art Heroes

I've removed the contact form for email due to daily spam from software bots. If you want to write me something longer than fits on Twitter, you can post it as a comment or private message on the Art Heroes Facebook page. Please note that the show is on semi-permanent hiatus and so press releases or requests to be interviewed will be ignored.

I'm best known as an artist and designer. Relaxing makes me tense, so I tend to put in a lot of hours on diverse projects.

On the way to a successful art career I've been a poet and writer, a tech geek, a print and web designer, illustrator, industrial designer, musician, teacher, actor, set designer and even a paid guru once.

It's all the same thing in the end— I wake up most days thinking about how I want to change, fix or improve some aspect of the world. And after a couple cups of coffee I get started on it.

My specialty is impossibility remediation: if it can't be done, I'm on it.
